A man claiming to be Shekau appeared in a video announcing he would sell his victims. He abducted the girls and threatened to sell them in the market, according to a CNN, there is a market for selling humans and women. He also said he would marry the girls to the men that wanted them. What are the girls that escaped saying about the abduction, or where the men took them?

According to the article of the week, the intention behind the kidnapping of school girls in Nigeria by Boko Haram is to sell them into slavery or forcing them into marriage by age 12. His group also kidnapped other girls to prevent them from going to school, which Boko Haram says violates Islamic law.

I believe that Boko Haram kidnapped those girls because he wants the government to release some of his people from prison. According to Fox News, he kidnapped about 300 girls. Others say that about 50-55 girls were able to escape. It also says that he if they don't release his people then he is planning to sell those girls to slavery. When the girls are coming back, what are they saying about what Boko Haram did to them?

Boko Haram decided to kidnap the school girls in Nigeria to make a deal with the government. Boko Haram is the leader of many terrorists who want to release the school girls only if some of the terrorists in his group are released from prison. He kidnapped around 300 girls and about 53 of them were able to escape. He is threatening to sell them into marriage as slaves.

What might the terrorists be planning since they want the prisoners freed? Were the girls who were kidnapped chosen randomly?

The group Boko Haram kidnapped the girls to prevent them from attending school because this violates Islamic law.The Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, said the girls could be released in exchange for jailed militants.

Boko Haram kidnapped the school girls in Nigeria because he threatened to sell the girls and force them to marry. The reason they took the girls was because they wanted to prevent them from attending school because they say that girls going to school violates the Islamic Law.( Why does this group take girls learning so bad, why don't they just ignore it ? and Why are these men taking them?)

According to LA Times,Boko Haram kidnapped for a possible reason besides trying to free their imprisoned men. The girls getting an education could lead to the change in their culture and hinder Boko Haram's ''repressive fundamentalism.'' They want the girls to marry at a young age and stay home like they traditionally would.Is the Nigerian government considering freeing the captured members of Boko Haram?

According to article of the week, Boko Haram kidnappred the girls from school in Nigeria, for having them in the market for selling humans and women.

The terrorists of the Nigerian countryside, Boko Haram, kidnapped schoolgirls from their dorms. The said they were there to protect them. When rounding up the girls in the courtyard, these girls realized who they were... and it was too late. The Boko Haram left a mark or terror, by burning books, destroying the dorms these girls were in... anything to get the government's attention (KTLA5 at 9pm).

My question remains: Why does Boko Haram kidnap the girls for the release of their fellow Boko Haram Fighters?

Boko Haram a terrorist group who kidnapped approximately 300 girls from a school in Nigeria on April 14, 2014 in order to make a deal with the government to release their prisoners and they would get their girls back. Their were about 53 girls who managed to escape. What the leader of the group is saying is if they dont let the prisoners out they will sell the girls and force them to marry as slaves.

How many countries or people are taking action in bringing back our girls ?

I think that the reason why the girls were kidnapped was so that the government releases the people from prison. Boko Haram and chief Abubakar Shekau released a video in which they threatened to sale the girls into slavery in the marketplace or force them to marry. This way they can worry the government and make them release the prisoners. What are the girls who escaped saying about the terrorists?

I believe that Boko haram kidnapped the girls so they would not attend school, and so he can sell them. He wants to sell them or marry them off to the men who want them. Or he might use them to force the government to release his men from prison.

According to the article of the week, Boko Haram kidnapped the girls from a school in Nigeria in the night. The terrorist group kidnapped 276 girls and about 53 girls have escaped since the attack. Boko Haram is threatening the government by telling them that they would sell the girls into slavery or into marriage at the age of 12. The group is against women learning because it goes against their Islamic belief. My question is: Why would a terrorist group take innocent girls away from their families because they are getting an education for free and are trying to improve their lives?

Boko Haram a terrorist group, which kidnapped a group of girls from a Nigerian school on April 14th, 2014 in order to have the government release their prisoners are holding them until they do. They are threatening the government that if they don't they will hold the girls and have them be there slaves.

According to the L.A times the reason why Boko Haram kidnapped 276 young girls was because they are scared that girls are learning and that will change Nigeria's future. So they kidnapped them and are selling them to random people to be married away.

Boko Haram is a terrorist group that kidnapped the 276 girls from Nigeria so they won't be able to go to school. According to their Islamic views girls are not allowed to have an education. They threatened to sell the girls and to force them into marriage if the government doesn't free their members of Boko haram from jail. What is the government actually doing about this situation.

The reason for this mass abduction of over 200+ school girls and the militant group taking credit the Boko Haram, say that all women don't need education, and should only be house wives and the man should be dominant. This radical groups intention is to make a trade and negotiate the hostages for their own men who were taken by the Nigerian government. My question is why does the Boko Haram militant's want a trade for a handful of their own, they clearly have leverage, and if they wanted to truly show their power why don't they broadcast the execution of the girls on Live T.V like the Taliban do in Iraq and Afghanistan, it hasn't stopped the Boko Haram group from massacring hundreds of people?

According to the AoW Boko Haram a terrorist group. They kidnapped a group of girls from Nigerian. They are treating the government to release their people from prison and they will give them there girls.

The terrorist group that abducted the girls are named Boko Haram. They feel that women should not receive education because it goes against the Islamic law. They threatened to sell the girls as slaves or to be married at a young age. My main question is, What do they feel they would get by kidnapping these girls? Many countries are stepping up to find these girls, the men are only in for trouble.

Boko Haram kidnapped the girls because they think educating girls is wrong. The way they think is that only men should be educated and be in power. They are trying to prove a point in a very wrong way. Also, they want the government to release the men in prison that are apart of their group.

Why do they think educating girls is wrong? Do they fear women/girls will take over?

Boko Haram is a terrorist group that kidnapped about 276 young girls from their school while they were sleeping. The reason behind this is that the terrorist group believes that females should not receive an education. Even the name Boko Haram means "Western education is sin." What is the Nigerian government doing to rescue the kidnapped girls?

Boko Haram kidnapped a group of girls because his idea of education isnt the same as other people. He doesn't think that its right for girls to be learning because men should have that power not girls. My question is why do they have the thought that kidnapping girls is correct.

Boko Haram is the terrorist group involved in the kidnapping. The reason in which they stated they abducted the girls was that they were learning and teaching girls or women is against the Islamic law. He stated that he will sell the women and convert them into the religion of Islamic.

The one question I have is; Is the Nigerian government doing anything to help out this conflict?

The intention of kidnapping the girls is because his idea on education is not equal as other students. He wants to be able to make the girls become Islamic instead of going against it. In order to do so he want to sell them or make them marry at the age of 12.

It would seem that the most apparent reason for the kidnappings is for the terrorist organization Boka Haram to free some of their comrades. They have nearly 300 hostages so the government seems to have little to no leverage. Another reason could just be to sell them off or marry them, but, that seems like too much trouble to go through kidnapping so many girls for such simple motive. What exactly is the Nigerian government and its allies doing to help the girls rather than standing around wondering what the motive was?

According to the AoW, Boko Haram has kidnapped girls. He has done this because he wants to be known and wants his fellow terrorist free from jail. He kidnapped the girls while they were at school. The Nigerian government knew that they were doing this but didn't do anything to stop this crime.
